Summary:
The Everett, Massachusetts school district is home to 8 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools in this district generally rank in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, a few standout performers emerge from the data.
At the top of the list is Webster School, which boasts the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels compared to the other Everett elementary schools and the district average. This school also holds the highest statewide ranking among Everett's elementary schools, placing 642 out of 906 Massachusetts elementary schools. Another strong performer is Lafayette School, which ranks 693 out of 906 and exceeds the Everett district average in most subject areas and grade levels. The Sumner G. Whittier School also stands out, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Mathematics, where it surpasses both the Everett district and Massachusetts state averages.
However, the data reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and the lower-performing ones, such as Parlin School and Madeline English School, which struggle to maintain proficiency rates above 20% in many subject areas. This suggests that students in Everett may not have equal access to quality education. Additionally, the data highlights the critical importance of providing a strong foundation in the early years, as proficiency rates tend to be higher in the 3rd and 4th grades compared to the upper grade levels.
